Sintered Stone in Singapore: Quoted on the Slab You Choose
FixMove supplies and installs large-format sintered surfaces across Singapore — kitchen countertops, islands, dining table tops, custom desk tops, TV feature walls and wall cladding, with stonework and carpentry handled by one team. For a quick bearing, stone counters can land around S$500–S$1,500 per metre of counter, while full large-format slabs (about 3–5 m) can run roughly S$3,000–S$30,000 per slab. These are planning figures only: brand, model, thickness, finish, cut-outs, edge work and wastage can change or reverse any material price order, so we quote the exact selected product and site scope. 中文版

Where Sintered Stone Works: Countertops, Islands, Table Tops, Desks, Walls
Sintered surfaces are made in large formats, so a planned layout can use fewer joins. Many products are specified by their manufacturers for low water absorption and resistance to heat or scratching, but the exact brand and model datasheet controls. That makes product selection and fabrication important in these six places:
Sintered Stone vs Quartz vs Marble
| Material | Indicative price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sintered stone | Planning ballpark about S$500–S$1,500 per metre; full slabs are quoted per slab | Available in large formats. Heat, scratch, stain and wet-area performance must be checked against the selected product datasheet. |
| Quartz (engineered stone) | About S$500–S$1,500 per metre, depending on series, colour and thickness | Many products are non-porous and designed for easy upkeep; pattern repeat and care guidance vary by series. See quartz countertops. |
| Marble (natural stone) | Quoted per slab selected | Natural veining makes every slab different. It can absorb liquids and react to acids; sealing reduces absorption but does not prevent etching. |
There is no universal price order across marble, quartz and sintered surfaces. Brand, slab, thickness, finish, cut-outs, edge work, support, wastage and installation can change the comparison. Quartz can sometimes be ballparked by series, while sintered surfaces and marble are normally priced against the individual slab; the figure firms up after product selection and site measurement.
How Sintered Stone Is Priced — and Why We Quote Per Slab
A sintered stone job is dominated by the slab itself: a full large-format slab of about 3–5 m runs roughly S$3,000–S$30,000 depending on pattern, colour and thickness. Two feature walls of the same size can land far apart simply because different slabs were chosen — which is why a “from S$X per square foot” teaser rarely matches the final bill. What actually moves your number:
- The slab itself — origin, brand and import batch, colour rarity, thickness and veining. Bookmatched patterns use more material.
- How much you need — metres of counter and the layout; whether the island is fully wrapped; how much wall area a feature wall or cladding covers. Together these decide how many slabs the job takes.
- Offcut wastage — once a large slab is cut for your job, the remainder rarely fits another job, so the wastage is priced into your slab. This is the main reason sintered stone cannot honestly be pre-priced.
- Cutouts and fabrication — hob, sink, socket and TV-bracket openings; edge profiles, mitred joins and pattern matching.
- Site conditions — counter work and wall work follow different steps; stair carries and lift size affect labour for large slabs.
- Dismantling — removing an old worktop or wall finish is charged separately.
Once you have picked the slab, the quote itemises slab, fabrication and labour, so you can see where every dollar sits.
How the visit works: the visit is free, subject to route and schedule; on-site measurement carries no diagnosis fee. A S$30 priority visit lets you pick your own arrival time and is credited in full when the work proceeds. S$10 fuel per visit; materials billed separately. Weekends and public holidays cost the same as weekdays. Asking a question books nothing. Details in the pricing terms.
Process: Measure → Pick Your Slab → Quote → Fabricate → Install
- Measure — on-site measurement is required before any sintered stone quote: counters in metres, walls and table or desk tops by length and width, plus hob, sink, socket and bracket positions.
- Pick your slab — send photos of the look you want; we shortlist slabs in that direction and within budget. The number firms up only when a specific slab is chosen.
- Quote — itemised into slab, fabrication and labour, and confirmed before anything goes into production.
- Fabricate — if your slab has to be brought in, stock arrives in about 30–45 days; plan your renovation timeline around that window. Cutting, edging and cutouts are done off-site to the measured dimensions.
- Install — slabs are fitted and joins finished on site, and you walk the work with the team before they leave.
Before Fabrication: Avoid the Failures That Are Hardest to Undo
Large-format slabs need more than an attractive sample. Cabinet level, slab support, cutout geometry, edge detail, transport access and the installer’s handling method all matter. The most useful time to check these items is before the slab is cut.

Why Stone and Carpentry From One Team
- One schedule — one measurement visit and one installation sequence, instead of waiting for the cabinet contractor to finish before a separate stone contractor can re-measure.
- Dimensions that agree — cabinets and stone are cut from the same drawings, so hob, sink and socket openings line up at the factory, not on your kitchen floor.
- One party responsible — workmanship carries a 12-month warranty; boards and hardware (including Blum) follow the manufacturer’s warranty. See the warranty & refund policy.
- Carpentry prices you can check — kitchen cabinets from S$380/ft in laminate or S$480/ft in plywood, wardrobes from S$480/ft, or the whole home under full-house customization. Sintered stone tops and feature walls can be quoted and scheduled together with the carpentry, or see the full price index.
Sintered Stone FAQ
Why is sintered stone quoted per slab instead of from a price list?
Because a large-format slab is priced as one piece: origin, thickness, colour rarity and cutting wastage all move the number, and the offcut from your job can rarely be reused on another. A pre-printed range would either be padded high or collapse on site — both waste your time. So we quote after you pick the slab, itemised into slab, fabrication and labour. For a bearing before that: stone counters generally sit around S$500–S$1,500 per metre, and a full 3–5 m slab runs roughly S$3,000–S$30,000 depending on pattern, colour and thickness.
Sintered stone or quartz — which should I pick?
Quartz is commonly chosen for kitchen counters and is often quoted by series; see quartz countertops. A sintered surface can suit large-format walls, a TV feature wall, cladding and selected countertop applications. Neither material gets an automatic price or performance win: compare the exact product datasheet and itemised quote, including thickness, cut-outs, edge work, support, wastage and installation. Use trivets with either surface. Undecided? Send photos and we will advise by use, not by upsell.
Can you make a stone dining table top or a custom desk top?
Yes. Sintered stone is cut to your table frame or desk size, edges finished, with cutouts (cable grommets, for example) done during fabrication. If the piece fits within a slab already being cut for your counters or feature wall, the two can share a slab — one of the practical upsides of per-slab quoting.
How long from measurement to installation?
Measurement comes first — it is required, because the slab is cut to your actual site dimensions. After you confirm a slab, imported stock takes about 30–45 days to arrive; fabrication and installation are scheduled once it lands. If you are mid-renovation, tell us your handover date and we will work the 30–45 day window backwards from it.
What warranty applies to sintered stone work?
Installation and workmanship (joins, fixing, alignment) carry a 12-month warranty; the slab itself, boards and hardware (including Blum) follow the manufacturer’s warranty. Full terms in the warranty & refund policy.
WhatsApp Your Sizes — Get a Slab Direction First
Send 2–3 photos of the space and rough sizes (counters in metres; walls, table tops and desk tops by length × width), plus the look you are after. We will reply with slab directions and roughly how many slabs the job needs. Asking is not committing.
Free visits are available subject to route and schedule. Choose a S$30 priority visit to pick your own arrival time; the S$30 is credited in full when you proceed with the quoted work. A separate S$10 fuel surcharge applies per visit. Pricing terms.
